While we are off topic on the World Series, how about the National Hockey

the name refer to?

What about World Championship Cricket or Rugby? There are never any
American teams included so how can it be World Championship?


I think your compatriots *currently* playing in the Rugby World Cup
might be a little aggrieved to hear you say that.

There are teams from every continent involved in that, so I think it
can genuinely be described as a *world* cup.

And it isn't the fault of the Cricket authorities if the US decides
not to enter a team in that.
